Rantings of a Pastor/Gamer/Historian/Geek
Hey, just a quick note to let everyone know that we’ve worked out a system that (we hope) will deliver consistent message audio goodness to the interwebs. You can visit http://www.lifepointchurch.tv/about-us/current-series/ to listen to the audio archive of messages. The files are all in MP3 format, so you can listen to them on your computer, […]
Wow, I don’t even want to think about how much time has passed since I wrote the first post in this series. All I can say is that I’ve been really busy. And lazy. Ok, mostly lazy.
Back in the original post, we talked about how discipleship isn’t just memorization of scripture, commandments, or traditions. Discipleship […]
In a few weeks, LifePoint will be joining with hundreds of other churches in a series called One Prayer. I’m sure that James will be sharing more about this groundbreaking series as we get closer. For now, I want to focus on the month of July, after One Prayer is finished. In July, we’re making […]
This week in our series Bestseller, we’re going to be talking about how the text of the Bible came to us in the form we have it, and who decided what was going to be included. The first topic, how the Bible was copied, deals with whether or not the texts we have are accurate […]

I’m really excited about our next series: Bestseller. We’re going to take a look at who wrote the Bible, who decided what would be in it, and how it came to us in the form it’s in. I don’t want to give away too many details right now, but I will say that the format […]
Lots of cool stuff is happening here at LifePoint. Two weeks ago we implemented a volunteer rotation so that our people could get a break every now and then. A great family in our church has stepped up to take over children’s ministry. We also had a new bass player on Sunday! (That means that […]
I just want to get something out in the open. I don’t want James‘ job. Seriously. I would not want to be the lead pastor of LifePoint. It’s not that you people aren’t great (well, some of you anyways :P), it’s just that I’m not wired that way. The final thing that you should know […]
Last time I mentioned that some of the seminarians I knew were getting into ministry to fulfill their own narcissism. These guys (and I use that term in the northern, gender neutral sense) were all about the show. They wanted the spotlight to always be on them. They wanted to be important. If we’re honest […]
Wow, James has gotten all of his “Primary Communicator” posts up already. I need to get a move on…
Having graduated from a fairly small Christian Liberal Arts College, I know a lot of guys who were majoring in various areas of Pastoral Ministry. The sad thing is, many of them wanted to get into ministry […]
